Mechanic near RTP/Brier Creek? (Durham: maintenance, price, shop) - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary - North Carolina (NC) -The Triangle Area - City-Data Forum

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic/car maintenance place near the RTP or Brier Creek area? My husband and I are looking for a place that's reasonably priced, convenient, & quick. Right now we just need a tune up, but we need a place we can frequent with our 17-year-old car. :-)

Has anyone had experience w/the Monro Muffler near Brier Creek?

I am close to brier creek and took my car to Tao Auto and they were great. They only do Honda and Toyota however.

Not exactly what you asked, but if you are willing to drive to DT Durham, I know an EXCELLENT and completely honest mechanic there. The shop is called Cole's Auto & Transmission. The owner is Mike Cole, and he is incredible.

I know it feels like a long way, but DT Durham really isn't that far from the Brier Creek area. And you can't beat a good, honest mechanic.

fwiw,
Mike

I completely agree. The guy knows what he's doing, and he won't gouge you.

Mike, does he specialize in any particular vehicle, i.e., US, Japanese, etc.?

There used to be a place called 'Fix an fly' off westgate rd near the airport. Im not sure what itz called now but it might be worth a try. Good luck

Definitely check out Atlantic Tire & Auto on S. Miami Blvd in RTP (near the intersection of Hopson Rd & Miami). It's very convenient to Brier Creek (less than 10 min) and on the outskirts of RTP. My husband & I have been taking our cars there for several years for all service & they have been great.

Wasp automotive was very good to me.

I somehow missed this many moons ago. No, they don't specialize in any particular make of vehicle. I am not sure whether there are makes and models they avoid. Regardless, he'll tell you over the phone whether he thinks he can help.
